Beauty in black

ARCH ENEMY frontwoman Angela Gossow has issued the following update on the recording sessions for the group's new album:

"I have now completed all the vocal tracks for the new album! Some very intense stuff going on there, I found a couple of new vocal sounds along the way. From extremely high screams to very low growls… It just felt right this time and I am very, very positive about ARCH ENEMY, the album and life in general.

"As I wanted to use a hand-held microphone this time, we spent some time searching for the right sound. I ended up using an ancient Sennheiser microphone this time, turns out it's the best sound I ever had! This particular model is pretty rare these days. We were lucky to find one.

"It's a pleasure to work with Rickard Bengtsson (producer, engineer), he is a singer himself (and a great one — check out his band LAST TRIBE!). He gave me very useful input. The songs rock like hell!

"Damn! It will be a while until you'll all hear the new stuff. I am extremely impatient myself. Want them mixed and mastered by the end of next week…! But no, we all have to wait…"

ARCH ENEMY's follow-up to 2003's "Anthems of Rebellion" is tentatively due this summer.

I havent been able to update much sorry guys. but I thought people in the long island new york area would be interested to know theres a god forbid concert at the downtown in farmingdale wednesday, I wont be able to be there but it should be good anyway.

Therapy? have been added to the Download bill - Woo!!!!! Another band I have seen loads of times, but never fail to be fantastic. Mmmm... Andy Cairns... *drool*

So I saw Shadows Fall last night..........................................................................
:D
Hands down, one of the best damn shows I've been to in my short life... Completely liberating and chaotic. Just like all shows should be.
I'll admit, I didn't know jack shit about SF and to be honest, I was only going to see Otep. But then things happened and Otep got dropped. I was actually thinking about selling my tickets, but then decided against it. I'm glad I didn't sell them though. I had one of the best times ever. I'd usually go into detail about the show, but I'm horrible with that shit and I'd only confuse you with my random chatter :) But I had a kick ass time.   Shadows Fall's performance made me all crazy inside and now I'm like,"GOD, I MUST BUY THEIR CDs!"  :) Not alot of bands impress me that much, especially if the first time I hear them is live. (Actually, only one other band was able to do that to me and it was Lacuna Coil :D)
So yeah, I had an awesome time.
I'm done now =D

Anyone living in the Orlando, Florida area going to see Soilwork, Dark Tranquillity, Hypocrisy, and Mnemic tomorrow night at The Social? If you are, it'd be cool to meet up. :]

3 more days til Slipknot!!!
